Nine Stars Killer Novel - Chapter 1036
Chapter 1036 Tree Soul
The further he went, the more translucent the divine tree became. There was a multicolored icy glow hanging on it. Whether it was branches or leaves, they all emitted icy green light.
The essence energy here was tens of times denser than outside, and every breath could refresh him.
Moreover, each leaf seemed to have its own veins. Upon closer inspection, there was a faint green blood flowing around, as if it was a living being.
“This divine tree must have a soul. After cultivating for so many years, it must have already become a spirit.”
Ye Feng secretly guessed that he would soon find a hidden place to cultivate.
He simply set up a defensive formation to prevent himself from being disturbed while cultivating.
There were tens of thousands of people gathered here. Who knew if there were enemies, so Ye Feng had to be careful.
After sitting down cross-legged, the Nine Prisons Demon Cauldron began to frantically absorb the essence of the Divine Tree and merge it into its body. The peak of the sixth level of the Divine Martial Arts began to loosen. The essence of the Divine Tree did not have any impurities, and it was pure like a pool of water.
Ye Feng split out a wisp of divine sense and looked inside the Ice Spirit Divine Tree. He always felt that things were not simple.
A divine tree that had grown for thousands of years definitely possessed intelligence. Once a human stepped foot, it was impossible for it to remain unresponsive and allow humans to absorb the essence of the divine tree.
Once it absorbed too much energy, it would definitely be a great loss to the Divine Tree. These Essence Qi were its source.
Because of the Heavenly Witch’s Eye, Ye Feng could clearly see every vein of the divine tree. Following the trunk of the divine tree, his divine sense actually seeped into it.
“Weng!”
Ye Feng felt a sudden blur in his soul sea. When he opened his eyes, he entered a white and misty world.
In the middle of this white world, this white halo floated. Inside, it was like a baby, falling into a deep sleep.
“It’s been thousands of years. I didn’t expect that humans would be able to enter my body.”
A voice filled with vicissitudes appeared. It was actually emitted from the white halo.
“Senior is the tree soul of the Divine Tree?”
Ye Feng asked tentatively.
“That’s right, I am the tree soul of the Ice Spirit Divine Tree!”
The voice continued to ring, but unfortunately, there was a gloomy coldness in the voice.
The surroundings were silent. Ye Feng did not know what to say. He actually entered the divine tree and communicated with the divine tree’s soul. All of this was inconceivable.
An uneasy feeling emerged in Ye Feng’s soul sea. He always felt that this was a conspiracy and that he had entered too smoothly.
“Ah!”
Suddenly, Ye Feng’s soul sea let out a cry of alarm. A strange energy wanted to occupy Ye Feng’s primordial spirit.
“Chatterbox, I’ve waited for thousands of years. To open the Mirror of Winter today is to find a perfect body that can free me from the shackles of the divine tree and fly freely into the sky in the future.”
“You want to rob me of my life!”
Ye Feng immediately sensed that the other party had deliberately let him enter the divine tree, wanting to occupy his primordial spirit.
“That’s right. I’ve been trapped in the divine tree for thousands of years. Every time I open it, I’ll have to be absorbed by you humans. Then, I’ll evolve and absorb the natural source. I’m not convinced. I want to seize your primordial spirit. This way, I can get rid of the divine tree and transform into a human.”
The tree soul did not conceal anything from Ye Feng. Because of the restriction of the divine tree, the tree soul could not leave. If the divine tree lost the tree soul, it would slowly dry up. The only way was to find a human and snatch his body. The tree soul could use the human body to leave.
This way, the divine tree would not be exhausted, it would not be able to harm the source of the tree soul, and it would also be able to leave the divine tree. It was simply killing two birds with one stone.
“I still don’t understand why you can’t directly transform into a divine tree and become a human, insisting on rebirth.”
Regardless of whether it was a demon or some spirit wood, they would be able to cultivate spirit after a long time. In the end, they would be able to completely transform into form with the help of their bodies. This divine tree had also existed for thousands of years, so why couldn’t it directly transform into form?
“Brat, you don’t know that, do you? This Ice Spirit Divine Tree is rooted in the Human Immortal Devil Three Realms. If it directly transforms and leaves, the Three Realms will be in chaos. My tree soul will be wiped out by the Three Realms immediately, so this Divine Tree will always grow here.”
The tree soul constantly invaded Ye Feng’s soul sea, wanting to wipe away Ye Feng’s spiritual sense and completely occupy it.
Ye Feng had fallen into an unprecedented crisis. The tree soul had lived for thousands of years, and its soul power was extremely powerful. Even ten of Ye Feng’s primordial spirits could not match the tree soul. Gradually, their primordial spirits began to be invaded by the tree soul.
“Chatterbox, do you think you can enter the Ice Spirit Divine Tree with trash like you? If I didn’t intentionally let you in, I would have been frozen to death by the Qi of the Frost Spirit.”
It turned out that all of this was a conspiracy. What kind of mirror image of winter? It was deliberately opened by the Ice Spirit Divine Tree. It was to lure these people in and seize their fleshly bodies.
“Amongst these people, only your primordial spirit is the most special. It has finally allowed me to wait for an opportunity!”
The Tree Soul was very excited. Occasionally, it would vent and sometimes swear an oath. The reason why Ye Feng kept going deeper was because he wanted to snatch away Ye Feng’s fleshly body.
Everything was clear. When Ye Feng entered, everything went smoothly. There was no trace of coldness. He was unable to penetrate even the ninth level of the Divine realm. Although his physical body was strong, it was not strong enough to surpass the ninth level of the Divine realm.
There was only one possibility. It was the Ice Spirit Divine Tree that deliberately let Ye Feng in. Its purpose was to let him approach the core location. This was the place where the tree soul rested. No one could step foot here, not even Loose Immortals.
“It’s just a tree soul that has lived for a bit longer. You want to seize my primordial spirit just by yourself.”
After knowing the background of the matter, Ye Feng emitted a terrifying killing intent.
“Do you think you can resist? My soul power has already reached the level of the Three Tribulations Earth Immortal. Unless a true immortal descends, no one can stop me.”
The Tree Soul let out a sinister laugh, slowly devouring Ye Feng’s primordial spirit, wanting to completely occupy it.
The Three Tribulations of the Earth Immortal was equivalent to three tribulations of lightning. It was estimated that only a few antiques in Qinli Middle Continent had reached such a high level. His father was only at the Celestial Realm, and he had yet to undergo a tribulation of lightning.
If he failed, he would be reduced to a Loose Immortal, unable to take another step forward in his life. If he succeeded once, he would also be a step closer to becoming an Immortal. When would he be able to become a true Immortal after experiencing nine lightning tribulations?
How many geniuses had failed during the lightning tribulation? Especially after experiencing eight lightning tribulations. The last lightning tribulation had failed. It was only a step away from the Immortal Dimension.
Cultivating immortals was difficult, not only was it difficult to ascend to the Heavens!
The tree soul in front of him was equivalent to the soul power of an Earthly Immortal of the Three Tribulations. One could imagine how terrifying it was. It was estimated that even the ninth level of the Divine realm would be able to crush it instantly.
Ye Feng’s expression was expressionless. His primordial spirit emitted a resplendent light. It seemed as if he was waiting for a final strike. He definitely could not let the tree soul seize it. That way, his soul would be completely wiped away by him.
“What’s going on? Why is there less and less Essence!”
Many people who were cultivating outside looked up at the Ice Spirit Divine Tree one after another. They noticed that the divine tree was emitting less and less essence energy, and they began to move closer to the core area of the Ice Spirit Divine Tree.
Because this place was not affected by the sight, many people took it away one after another, wanting to absorb more divine tree essence energy to increase their cultivation.
In just half a day’s time, countless martial artists had broken through to the next realm.
“What a pure soul force. How did you cultivate it? The strength of your primordial spirit at the sixth level of the Divine realm is no weaker than that at the ninth level of the Divine realm. It’s simply inconceivable.”
The tree soul was devouring Ye Feng’s primordial spirit, letting out an exclamation of admiration.
Wait!
Ye Feng was waiting!
There was no expression on his face. He clenched his fists tightly. His physical body was only a step away from the seventh level of the Divine Martial Arts. He could break through at any time, but it was definitely not now.
The primordial spirit was also under the control of the tree soul. If it broke through, it would easily produce a heart demon.
“Brat, why don’t you resist!”
The treesoul rushed in, not understanding. If it was an ordinary person, if they were taken away by someone, they would definitely do their best to defend against it and drive the invading soul out.
However, from beginning to end, Ye Feng had been standing on the same spot, not moving at all, as if he had given up.
“Is it useful for me to resist?”
The corner of Ye Feng’s mouth curved into an arc. If he resisted, the other party would probably suppress him with even more powerful soul power and give up.
“You’re right. It’s useless to resist. If you dare to resist, I will instantly devour your soul. Since you are so obedient, I will retain a trace of your divine sense. When you leave, I will let you reincarnate.”
Hearing Ye Feng’s obedience, the Tree Soul actually showed great mercy, intending to retain a trace of Ye Feng’s primordial spirit.
“Thank you for your kindness. Unfortunately, I don’t need it, because I want to completely wipe you out!”
Ye Feng’s eyes suddenly revealed a trace of ferocity. A strong light shot out from his primordial spirit. It was the Golden Spear of Thunder.
It was at this moment that the tree soul approached the deepest part of its primordial spirit. The Golden Spear of Thunder appeared, carrying a destructive aura. It absorbed the scarlet lightning and was several hundred times more powerful than before.
What was lightning? It was the most powerful destructive force in the universe. For things like souls that had no form, the thing they feared the most was lightning.
Ye Feng wanted to paralyze the other party and endure the pain of his soul being devoured. The pain was simply unbearable. Ye Feng endured it alive.
“What!”
The Tree Soul was shocked. He didn’t expect that Ye Feng’s primordial spirit would hide such a terrifying thing. This was the purest thunder and lightning, and it contained a purple aura.
“Ahhhhh!”
The tree soul was heavily injured and let out a miserable scream. Because Ye Feng was sneak attacking, it did not react and was directly stabbed by the Golden Spear of Thunder.
“Brat, I’m going to kill you and completely destroy you!”
The Tree Soul was enraged. Just now, it was a pure primordial soul. In the blink of an eye, it was extremely damaged. A large number of cracks appeared on it. After being stabbed by the Golden Spear of Thunder, some places would never recover.
“The one who deserves to die should be you. A small demon spirit would want to seize the primordial spirit of a human!”
Trees were also a type of demons, and their souls were naturally demon souls. However, the Ice Spirit Divine Tree had grown for too many years, so it was called the Divine Tree because of its abundant essence energy.
After being injured, the tree soul was furious and began to frantically devour Ye Feng’s primordial spirit. He wanted to take revenge, and the essence energy from the Ice Spirit Divine Tree continuously poured into its primordial spirit to replenish its soul consumption.
The essence of the divine tree was getting less and less, and it had been absorbed by the tree soul. The martial artists outside had no choice but to stand up and look inside.
“What exactly happened? Why is the Ice Spirit Divine Tree getting smaller and smaller?”
Looking at the shrinking Ice Spirit Divine Tree, countless people were confused and rushed inside, wanting to find out what was going on.
